Chapter 1456: Chapter 1411: The Pretender God, The Clan Comes to Fight! (Make-up 3)

All Heavens’ Multitude Paths, their compatibility with one another is far from simple. From now on, each law he integrates will come with a tremendous cost.

"Master, are you now considered a false god?"

Luli’s large eyes sparkled as they swept over Xiao Chen, sizing him up incessantly; his air had become completely different since he emerged from seclusion this time.

Even standing here like this, the divine power in his body surged like tides; each breath seemed to merge with heaven and earth, and divine light flickered in the opening and closing of his eyes.

Once the divine power in his body circulated, divine radiance flowed like tides, and auspicious qi fell like waterfalls, radiating tremendous authority.

Hearing this, Xiao Chen gave a wry smile and said, "You could say that."

Setting aside the gods, even false gods are differentiated. Even the Desolate Gods of the past were considered as false gods.

The gap between his current power and that of the Desolate Gods is not just vast; the Desolate Gods were beings who dominated the universe, with emperors perishing completely at their hands.

As for his own current estimation of his battle power, he should be able to contend with an Emperor.

In fact, according to the rankings in the Wild Heaven and Earth, he should be placed at the Ninth Heavenly Layer. Compared to other kings of the same rank, he has imprinted too many laws of the Great Dao, which signifies that his combat strength is absolutely superior to his peers.

However, his current external performance is similar to that of an Emperor; his laws have condensed into sources of laws.

In the Desolate Land, kings who have experienced the World of Ten Thousand Paths, who feel they have reached the pinnacle of control, will no longer imprint laws of heaven and earth but will condense their own heart of laws, allowing their Undying Martial Soul to completely control the Small World, to control their own Dao.

However, Xiao Chen’s Undying Spiritual Soul is still not qualified to be compatible with the laws; hence, his source of laws is merely a conglomeration of laws, not the amalgamation of laws and Martial Soul that resides in an Emperor’s heart.

Of course, only he himself knows these things; to the outside world, his source of laws is indistinguishable from the heart of laws that dominates the Emperor’s world!

The only difference lies with him, the true experiencer of the path to Cultivating Divinity, who will truly understand!

What’s different also is that after this closed-door cultivation to improve his strength, he could no longer sense the presence of heavenly tribulation. The tribulation of heaven and earth is a test bestowed upon Warriors after breaking through a certain level.

This is why each tribulation corresponds to a new heavenly layer for kings. However, since his breakthrough to the Seventh Heavenly Layer with the test of heaven and earth’s tribulation, by the time he ascended to the Eighth Heavenly Layer, this test that heaven and earth subjected Warriors to upon promotion was already faintly imperceptible to him.

And this time, he couldn’t detect it at all. The only explanation for this is that he has transcended martial arts and truly stepped onto the path of Cultivating Divinity.

It also means that he didn’t receive the test of blessing from heaven and earth because his practice of Divine Techniques had not accumulated enough strength to ascend to the next realm, so the test from heaven and earth did not come upon him.

Bear in mind, he has now comprehended thirty-four laws of the Great Dao, and just the law of fire has branched out into more than a dozen kinds of laws at various levels, such as scorching heat, explosive, Supreme Yang, and brightness, ranging from ordinary lesser laws to superior laws.

One might say he has taken the extension of the law of fire to an extreme in his understanding, yet despite such deep contemplation, he still has not accumulated the power to advance to the next realm in the divine path, which just shows the dreadfulness of the cultivation of divinity!

This is also why Luli asked him, and he acknowledged that he’s already enough to be regarded as a false god. Of course, he’s at the lowest level among the false gods, and perhaps this realm had other names in the era of the wild gods.

After all, even during the era of wild gods, achieving godhood was an endpoint of the cultivation for all living beings, just like the endpoint of martial arts today is the emperor.

Of course, as for the realms after becoming a god or an emperor, only those who truly step into that realm will come to really understand it.

"Luli, tell me about the current situation outside," said Xiao Chen.

Suddenly, Xiao Chen no longer dwelt on the matter of his realm and started to understand the current state of the outside world, given that he had been in closed-door cultivation for quite some time.

Luli naturally informed Xiao Chen of several incidents, including the previous attack by a strong member of the Royal Beast Race, and her departure from the Mountain River Seal.

And then the subsequent challenge issued by the Royal Beast Race, as well as the Hundred Clans’ Conquest initiated by the human race, were all told to Xiao Chen one by one.

"The Royal Beast Race issues a challenge? There’s a hidden supporter behind them, unknown to this day?"

Upon hearing this, a playful light flashed in Xiao Chen’s eyes. It seemed that true chaos reigned in troubled times; he didn’t expect that in the twenty years he was in seclusion, the entire Wild Heaven and Earth had descended into chaos.

The human race, which has occupied the Desolate Land and accumulated power over endless ages, was also beginning the Conquest of Hundred Clans, plundering from the outside world to fill its own needs. Was the calamity of the era truly this formidable?

There’s no question; the shadowy backer behind the Royal Beast Race must be one of the many races among the Hundred Clans of Heaven, and it must be an exceedingly powerful one at that. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible to stretch such a long hand under the human race’s current offensive.

After a moment of silence, the cold smile on Xiao Chen’s face solidified, and he said, "If that’s the case, Luli, don’t let the news of my return from seclusion be known for now. Since the Royal Beast Race has invited battle, it seems they have some confidence. Let’s see how much backing they have, and which race dares to reach out so far!"

"Alright, Master. So, I shouldn’t tell the mistress either, right?" Upon hearing this, Luli giggled, immediately causing Xiao Chen to chuckle.

Luli had already informed him that Mu Qing had broken through to the Supreme King Realm.

"Bring Qing Er and Nianhua to the Mountain River Seal," Xiao Chen said. He had no intention of hiding anything from his wife, what’s more, in the confines of the Mountain River Seal, what was there not to be assured of!

The main thing is, although he has boosted his strength through closed-door cultivation, the Divine Techniques he had deduced before no longer could keep up with his current realm. Also, now with his current strength, he could finally thoroughly refine his Heaven and Earth Spirit Spear!

What’s more important is that this twenty-year closed-door cultivation has brought him benefits that were not merely these; however, all of these require him to slowly reveal them.

In this way, Mu Qing and Nianhua entered the Mountain River Seal, and when husband and wife met, they naturally couldn’t avoid a warm and intimate moment, which goes without saying.

...

Outside, naturally, no one would know of Xiao Chen’s emergence from seclusion. In the Beast Underworld, the humans were fervently preparing for battle.

Under the imperial command of King Long Deng, the five major king-level tribes of the Southern Territory once again summoned over twenty million war soldiers from the entire Southern Territory to enter the Beast Underworld.

At this time, the number of human war soldiers in the entire Beast Underworld finally exceeded one hundred million. Counting the human tribespeople who had continuously migrated in over the years, the total number of the human race in the Beast Underworld had surpassed four hundred million. Of course, the pace of migration had gradually slowed down.

Although the number of human tribespeople is such, compared to the entire Royal Beast Race, it is still far too few. After all, this is a tribe that has a population of several billions.

At this moment, the entire God Wind Mountain, God Lu Mountain, and the southwest West Forest Mountain lines were fully militarized by the Royal Beast Race. Engaging in mutual confrontation with the human race warriors, a grand war had yet to begin, but the entire Beast Underworld had already fallen into a bloody frenzy.

Almost every day, atop the endless defense line stretching for billions of miles, warriors from both tribes fought fearlessly and fiercely to the death, and encounters between kings were also extremely frequent.

...

In such continuous encounters, half a year had passed, and in the blink of an eye, the day was fast approaching when the Royal Beast Race had initially issued a challenge for battle!

Royal Beast Race Emperor’s Palace.

A pillar of fortune that towered like the heavenly column appeared listless. Under the heavenly column, the three protectors of the Royal Beast Race stood shoulder to shoulder.

Behind the three protectors, a slightly hunched figure lurked within a large black robe, the only mysterious emperor-level strong one of the Royal Beast Race in the outside world. In front of the three, there were several kings whose momentum surged intensely.

However, what caught the most attention were the two figures at the side, shrouded in darkness, releasing not even the slightest bit of momentum.

"The arrow is on the string and must be shot; we will follow shortly afterward!"

Suddenly, a hoarse voice echoed from one of the masses of dark qi.

Hearing this, the three protectors exchanged glances, then looked up at the languishing pillar of fortune, their eyes flashing with determination. The chief protector immediately let out a loud shout.

"For the legacy of the Royal Beast Race to last for eons, let’s go!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

All at once, the three great protectors turned into beams of light, heading north, closely followed by nearly forty beams of light. This was the strongest foundation the Royal Beast Race could muster.

Qiong Lake King City.

Likewise, various human kings began to gather. Excluding the kings who had to stay at their defensive lines, there were around twenty kings’ momentum undulating within the King City; this was the maximum number that the human defense line could assemble.

Even the four major king-level tribes with the designation "Heaven" had rushed to the Royal Beast Race, all for the battle today!

At this moment, the momentum above Qiong Lake King City is starting to condense, and the murderous aura rising to the sky carries with it blood qi, turning into frost that rustles as it falls.

King Long Deng stood in the Void dressed in a grey robe, holding a dragon lamp that hadn’t been seen for a long time, showing that he was not as calm as he appeared.

They’re here!

Some human king shouted.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the far distance at the summit of the Sky Vault, a thunderous sound erupted, as if the deities of the heavens were beating the drums of war: a frenzied momentum that connected heaven and earth, illuminating tens of thousands of miles of the Void with lightning.

As the murderous aura skyrocketed, dots began to appear in the sky, gradually enlarging in the eyes of those watching.

"Human race, today we shall fight to the death or never cease!"

A voice filled with killing intent resounded like a Divine Bell. Even the ordinary human tribespeople who had been evacuated from Qiong Lake King City felt their blood surge, and their bodies exploded upon hearing this explosive shout!

"Human race, fight to the death or never cease!"

"Human race, fight to the death or never cease!"

"Human race, fight to the death or never cease!"

An overwhelming killing intent directly swept across the entire heaven and earth.

"Kill!"

In the Void, the dragon lamp in King Long Deng’s hand emitted a resonant dragon’s roar, and a blue dragon manifested between heaven and earth!

Kill! Kill! Kill!

In an instant, all the human kings in Qiong Lake King City burst out with killing intent, soaring into the sky to meet and kill the incoming Royal Beast Race kings!

At this moment, any further words had already become superfluous!

Kill!

This was the only language between the two races!
